VOLUME XLXI NUMBER 4 NORTH CAROLINA AGRICULTURAL AND TECHNICAL STATE UNTVERSnY GREENSBORO NC SEPTEMBER 14 ., 1979 FRIDAY
40 A&T Students
Left Homeless
By Richard B. Steele
At 9:35 a.m. Friday
morning, approximately 40
"temporarily off-campus-
male residents" gathered in,
the waiting room office of Dr.
Jesse Marshall, vice
chancellor of Student Affairs.
The meeting concerned the
eviction of these students
(upperclassmen and freshmen)
from the Oaks Motel on
Summit Ave.
"We were notified last night
(Thursday) that we would
have to move by 12 noon
tomorrow. We then called Dr.
Marshall and told him of the
situation at hand," said one of
the roomless residents.
A&T provided temporary
housing for male residents at
the Oaks Motel. The motel
arrangements were $1.25 more
,'than the cost of campus
housing, but this price was
taken care of by A&T.
There were four to a room
with T.V., air conditioning
and carpet. On the other hands,
there was no privacy, two beds,
one desk, one closet and two
drawers for the four students.
"We were given no notice
until Thursday of eviction,"
said another student. An
Amway Convention is meeting
in Greensboro this weekend
and the booking was done
months in advance.
"Oaks (Motel) was
temporary," said Marshall.
"Within two weeks I said we
would have some space
available."
The students had been
waiting patiently for Marshall
in Harrison and returned to
Murphy Hall to demand
action not run around, because
of the 12 noon deadline.
"They (Student Affairs
Office) said that there were
enough rooms and that they
were waiting for other people
to move out," said still
another of the evictees.
These other people,
according to Marshall, are the
35 to 40 spaces that are
available because of bills being
unpaid, unclaimed rooms,
moving off campus and
homesickness.
"There are some
alternatives," said Marshall.
Those alternatives were the
basement of Scott B in the
team room used to house
visiting athletes. he students
flatly refused th sement for
the following . ...sons: no
studying space; no privacy,40
beds in one room, side by side;
conditions hot and
unbearable; unsanitary and
unhealthy water on the
floor, pests, inadequate keys
to lock room, and no storage
space for clothes, and personal
belongings.
Another alternative was
housing three in a room in
Scott Hall. This would require
securing bunk beds and
disrupting established
roommates with an additional
presence. This would have to
be cleared with Dr. L. C.
Dowdy, chancellor, who was
not available for comment.
The students' first choice
upon arriving to no-room
space-available was the
basement or nowhere. They
refused. The second choice
given was the Oaks Motel.
At the Oaks, they were
allegedly promised
transportation. A bus from
the university made the oneway trip to campus the first
day only. Ever since then
students have had to find their
own means or walk, missing
meals and classes.
Oaks Motel refused to
comment on the situation.
Temporary arrangements have
been made for the students to
place all their belongings in a
day-study room in Scott Hall.
Students will have to provide
their own transportation to
move to the campus. Some

Robinson Replaces Stroud
By Fiorina G. Byrd
Dr. George Robinson has
been named chairman of the
Political Science Department.
Robinson replaces Dr. Virgil
Stroud who served as acting-
chairman.
Robinson, a native of
Buckingham County,
Virginia, served as chairman
of the Political Science
Department at Lincoln
University in Pennsylvania for
five years.
As chairman of the Political
Science Department here,
Robinson stated that he will
make up the schedule of
courses to be taught by
George Robinson
teachers in the Political Science
Department. "I will teach two
courses in Political Science
Educational and Agricultural Leaders
To Participate In Conference
More than 100 educational
and agricultural leaders of the
state are expected to
participate in a conference on
the use of systems concepts in
agriculture at A&T State
University Wednesday,
September 19.
The conference will be
sponsored by the School of
Agriculture at A&T, the
Agricultural Research Service
at North Carolina State
University and the United
States Department of
Agriculture.
"The idea behind this
conference is that agriculture
in a modern world really had
to deal with complex problems
with which we have not had to
deal before," said Dr. Harvey
J. Gold, director of the
biomathematics program at
North Carolina State. "We
have just been studying
agriculture in pieces."
"We have gotten agriculture
yields that are miraculous, but
there are new problems such as
land shortages, energy
shortages and restrictions on
the kind of chemicals we can
use. It is no longer enough to
study one piece of the problem
at a time. We in agriculture
will have to employ systems
concepts and computer
simulations to solve these
problems," added Gold.
The A&T conference will be
coordinated by Dr : Will R.
Getz of the university's
Department of Animal
Science.
Consultants for the
conference will be two
outstanding agricultural
leaders. They are Colin R. W.
Spedding, editor of the
"International Journal of
Agricultural Systems," and a
pioneer in the application of
systems concepts in agriculture
and agricultural research; and
Earl O. Heady, director of the
center for Agricultural and
Rural Development at Iowa
State University. He is an
internationally recognized
authority in food supply,
agriculture, and in the use of
(See Dr. Page 8)
each semester. I will also
continue examining the
legislative process of the
United States and its impact
on our legal system," he said.
Robinson expressed several
major concerns of the
department. "I would like
extended student
opportunities for graduate
work, law school, and
positions in state, local and
federal employment at the
intermediate legislative level."
When asked what changes
he would like to see, Robinson
stated, "TheiPolitical Science
Department should be as
strong as it possibly can be-
academically, intellectually
and in terms of output. We
are planning a concerted :effori
toward increased publications-
-journals, articles, books, and
magazines."
